The doctors of All India Institute Of Medical Science (AIIMS), supporting the protest by doctors in Rajasthan for higher pay and promotions, they had asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "live" their life for a day.

 

In a letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) on Saturday urge on PM Modi to understand the big pressure on doctors at government hospitals due to the poor infrastructure and behaviorist of patient's family during emergency situations.

 

"We are lucky to have an active Prime Minister Narendra Modi like you... Now RDA AIIMS requests you to put (on) white apron and spend one day as a government doctor to realise the tremendous amount of pressure level we face, the agony of patients who did not get care, the dying healthcare system due to lack of resources and infrastructure," AIIMS RDA president Harjit Singh Bhatti wrote in the letter.

 

He said it will also set an example to ministers who level allegations against doctors for cheap publicity.

 

"Your one day as a government doctor can be a turning point for the healthcare system as it will restore faith in the medical profession," the letter read.

 

Several doctors in Rajasthan were arrested as the state government invoked the Rajasthan Essential Services Maintenance Act (RESMA) for three months after the All Rajasthan In-Service Doctors' Association warned of indefinite strike in support of their demands.

 

"Rajasthan doctors are on strike from December 16, this strike is helplessness rather than intentional because the state government arrested 86 doctors by imposing RESMA," read the letter
